NW30, let's be realistic. After 10 years of the "temporary" Bush Tax Cuts, how did they benefit our economy and what do we have to show for it besides a ballooned national debt? Forget just talking about the wealthy as you do with the specious worn out talking points. I don't think many of us here view income taxes as punishment, yet why do you?

Yes, and they don't have much will to pull that cart.... particularly when they can stash all their loot in secret offshore numbered bank accounts.

No, they're not. They'll sell their companies where they have their customer base and where they'll get the highest return -- in the US. The new owner will continue in business and he'll need the same knowledgeable employees who worked for the last owner. Hence, no loss in tax revenues and no loss in jobs.

Why do you say dumb shit like that? (But what's funny is the way NW orgasms when you do -- almost like Brucie's loving conversations with his aliases. )

If the owner NETS only $40k (or $10k), then he's taxed on the $40k (or $10k) at the prevailing rate. And if the owner's business pays the owner an income, then the owner pays personal income taxes on that.

Any increase in income taxes applies to the amount ABOVE $250k, not on the whole thing. The portion below $250 is taxed at the prevailing rate.

Most rational people know all this, Mikey, yet you continue to spout the stupidest of the GOP talking points, which only makes you look like the biggest of buffoons.

Pueno--more sad than funny. It is sad that virtually all of the right wingers here can't bring themselves to actually look at a few facts. But they are all eager to believe Fox news lies about Obama, reposting them without noticing the preposterous nature of the argument they just made (e.g. the wild paranoia on Benghazi) and unwilling to respond or apologize when it turns out that they are, yes, wrong, again. Sad excuse for citizenship responsibility.

Sorry, Mac, but I can't be as generous, forgiving, and compassionate as you. These far right nitwits are simply fools.
Speaking of which, what became of matty? Ran for the hills with his head hung in shame?
